Heidi Kirkpatrick works with alternative processes to create unique photo objects. Fear Flesh and Greed incorporates a film positive of an image of my Mother made in the 1950’s with a green, vintage New Testament. The intense look of my mother is placed on the page with her eye directly over the words fear flesh and greed.
As she tells Lenscratch (January 4 2012), "I am in love with film. All of my work is made with film. I shoot on film. I print on film. I do all of my own work in my darkroom. I like it dripping off my elbows. I do not use a lot of fancy equipment. My "models" are the people who are closest to me, my family and friends. I love layering the film positives over anything and everything I can think of or find. My studio is filled with found objects that inspire me, and photographs, lots and lots of photographs."
